Raylan Elmore Leonard
Engaging novel about the further adventures of Leonard’s U. S. Marshall. Now he’s back in his home area of Harlan County, Kentucky dealing with large coal, murder, drugs, and women. Leonard’s prose slips right along, and the dialogue, as always sounds wonderfully authentic . A quick, very enjoyable, entertainment.
Prague Fatale Philip Kerr
Latest Bernie Gunther novel. We’re back in 1941, Bernie is involved with a new woman, working closely with Heydrich in Czechoslovakia, and stumbling his way through an investigation of the murder of one of Heyrich’s adjutants. Very interesting and well-executed, as always. Resolution was a little slim, but very enjoyable.
Helsinki White James Thompson
Third novel in the series. Things are disintegrating as Vaara recovers from his brain surgery, he becomes more corrupt in the special squad, and his marriage starts coming apart because he no longer feels emotions. Brutal, violent, and very interesting. Wish there were another one to start on.
